Miki McGee

I began my experience in education as a paraeducator in a school for students with severe and profound disabilities. I have been a group home counselor for young adults with cognitive disabilities, a sign language interpreter for a deaf student attending public elementary school, a reading specialist for a nonverbal student at the middle school level, and a special education teacher for twelve years at a K-6 school working primarily with students with specific learning disabilities, autism, and emotional and behavioral disabilities. For the past eleven years I have had the pleasure of working with Lyme students, teachers, and families of children ages 3 to 21 as the Director of Special Services. I serve as president on the board of the NH Association for Special Education Administrators, and teach an online course at Granite State College in Dynamic Assessment in Special Education. I have three children of my own, two grown, and one in high school, as well as two incredibly handsome and charming grandsons, 2 and 6 years old, with whom I love spending time. Near water is where I love to be whether it be swimming in the lake, walking along a mountain river, or picnicking and camping at the ocean

Sarah McBride

This is my sixth year working at the Lyme School. I am a Special Educator for grades K-5. I received my teaching certification in Elementary Education and Special Education from Granite State College and my Bachelor's degree from St. Olaf College in Minnesota. I live in Lyme with my husband and our two children, who also attend the Lyme School. In my free time I enjoy running, hiking, biking, and reading.

Stephanie Kocurek

I am the Middle School Special Educator and this is my second year at the Lyme School. I previously spent 11 years working at a local Middle/High School in Vermont. I work closely with the Middle School staff providing additional support to students on a 504 plan or Individualized Education Program. I received my Masters in Special Education at Grand Canyon University. I live in Grafton, NH with my husband and our three children (Natalie, Nathaniel, and Naomie). In my free time I enjoy working as an Assistant Cook at Camp Billings on Lake Fairlee, kayaking, and walking/hiking with my dog Boo.

Elaine White

I am a special educator for grades K-4. I support students in all academic areas. I am trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading. I feel very fortunate to have been a member of the Lyme School faculty for many years. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, hiking, cross-country skiing and spending time with my grandchildren.
